Do you think you've found Grand Prairie's most magnificent tree? Now's your chance to show it off!
The Grandest Tree Competition invites residents to submit their favorite trees and help us celebrate the natural beauty of our city. Whether it's a towering oak, a uniquely shaped pecan, or a rare species you've spotted in your neighborhood, we want to see it! The prize for winning will be a signed certificate and a swag bag with goodies from the City of Grand Prairie.
Participants can nominate a tree by completing our submission form, which asks for details like:
Height
Trunk circumference
Estimated age (if possible, using historic aerial photography)
Overall form and branching structure
Overall health
A panel of judges will review all submissions and crown Grand Prairie's Grandest Tree.
Celebrate and showcase the city's beautiful urban forest
Learn more about local tree species and care
Contribute to community pride and environmental awareness
Let's celebrate the trees that make Grand Prairie truly grand!
